We have been so busy with life and learning that there has been little time for much else!
Lately as the Shop business picks up we take time to go play soccer a few times a week.
And of course on the weekends.
Educationally what has been working:
Weekly spelling lists (5 English, 2 Amharic word) practice spelling and reading every week, with
weekly quizzes and reviews.
Zeru has been doing great with this!
Our biggest struggle is boredom! Basic addition and subtraction is no longer worth Zeru's time. He lets me know it with frantic fits! But go and score a goal, and he will quickly announce the score and how many more till he wins! He has addition and subtraction down, he just hates worksheets!
One of our fun new projects is measuring maps. How many inches between locations and what direction to travel. This teaches geography, math, numbers, and direction (NSEW).
I have boldly declared to my dear son whose interest is to become a pilot and fly in Brazil that he has a choice: college or flight school. He made the choice! Big and fun developments coming soon!
More lesson plans to come!
